The gkrellm plugin only works for a few devices at this time and ath is
not one of them. It works for my old Prism 2.5 card, but not my new
Atheros. :-{

Maybe an interface to the 802.11 layer would make this plugin work for
all modern wireless cards. I really prefer gkrellm to the standard Gnome
monitoring tools.

Looks like Hajimu UMEMOTO has done much of the FreeBSD work on this
plugin. I cc'd him on this, but I have no idea if he has time or
interest.
